Detroit Lakes at Albany
3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 10

Albany's first year competing in Class 3A ended with a second-round exit in the Section 8 playoffs. A Huskies team hoping to improve on last season's finish gets a test when it hosts Section 8 opponent Detroit Lakes on Jan. 10.

Neither team made a big splash in the postseason last March, but the Huskies and Lakers could be on a collision course for a meeting deep in the playoffs this season based on early season results. Albany enters the week 8-1 while Detroit Lakes is 9-1, and neither team has dropped a section game.

Guards Kyle Birr and Nick Raeker combined for 24 points in Albany's 53-37 win over Providence Academy at the Granite City Classic in St. Cloud on Dec. 27.

Christian Hedstrom had 18 points and Corbin Duncan added 10 for Detroit Lakes in a 60-55 win over Zimmerman on Dec. 30.
